Speaker 1: money they always say the money is into the writer.
Speaker 1: It's not that publishing right, So do you get a
Speaker 1: bite of that or are you an employee of Sony?
Speaker 4: I'm asking for just you know now it always works.
Speaker 4: I don't have insurance or anything. I'm just independent.
Speaker 2: Contract got you, Yeah, but you get the publishing rights
Speaker 2: the writer Jacobs gets this number one. Then you get
Speaker 2: a cut out every every time it's spun on the radio.
Speaker 2: The whole thing, the whole deal. But then you look
Speaker 2: at other songwriting deals. For example, probably the worst one
Speaker 2: in history, Willie Nelson comes up with Crazy. He sells
Speaker 2: it to Patsy Cline for fifty dollars. That's it got
Speaker 2: nothing out of the song. So but anyway you write
Speaker 2: this song, it becomes the number one. By the way,
Speaker 2: you also kid Rock Miranda Lambert. The new one is
Speaker 2: for Luke Bryan and I want to actually.
Speaker 1: Hear we have that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you know what can you can you play
Speaker 2: it live for us? So you got a new.
Speaker 1: Writer and singer singer songwriter.
Speaker 2: So how what's the story behind the Luke Bryan single.
Speaker 4: Well, I wrote it with Ryan Beaver and Dan Alley too,
Speaker 4: of my best buds in town, and we were writing
Speaker 4: one day and we always have this guy we call
Speaker 4: him Darryl, the guy that goes to the bar and
Speaker 4: kind of just hangs out longer, yeah, or Derail de Rail,
Speaker 4: So we always he come. He gives us a lot inspiration.
Speaker 4: It's the guy you see at the bar that's hitting
Speaker 4: on the girl or whatever. So this song was about
Speaker 4: Daryl went to the bar, like he didn't want to
Speaker 4: go to the bar, but he pulled in and then
Speaker 4: a country song came on and he was like there
Speaker 4: all night, so he was going to get a good
Speaker 4: night's sleep.
Speaker 2: Why does this sound familiar.
Speaker 1: Because it's you that's awesome. I loved the process. It
Speaker 1: kills me. I did that how you get you had?
Speaker 1: You started here to get to there? It's interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's obviously not like the way all the time,
Speaker 1: so you know, it's every time is different.
Speaker 4: And I write with different people every day, different artists.
Speaker 4: Most most of the time, I'm with an artist and
Speaker 4: I'm trying to write their story. And then a few
Speaker 4: years ago, I had all these songs that were more
Speaker 4: personal to me, and I put them out for my record.
Speaker 4: So there's a record out there. If you want to
Speaker 4: hear my voice with my songs, there's one. It's called
Speaker 4: South End Kid. Yeah, Southside grew up in Valley State, right,
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 1: Okay, we want to hear a song. Yeah, let's don't
Speaker 1: want to run out of time. We got about six
Speaker 1: or seven minutes. I want to make sure we got
Speaker 1: a song.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go ahead and get a song.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, It's floor is yours. I'll control the
Speaker 1: mic and get it, try.
Speaker 2: To get it all right? Well this yeah, yeah, once.
Speaker 1: You start and I'm gonna come over there.
Speaker 4: I want to take these head phones off here. This
Speaker 4: one's the new Luke Bryan Singles on the radio. It
Speaker 4: should be in the twenties right now. Hopefully we can
Speaker 4: get it up to number one. It's called a country
Speaker 4: song came on another long, hard working deck. Gone time
Speaker 4: to pack it up and hit on home songs going
Speaker 4: to rise, and I know I've got to do it
Speaker 4: all over again. There's just too wist through this town.
Speaker 4: I don't ever take to you the world well around.
Speaker 5: I see the lights.
Speaker 2: I slowed down.
